About this map

Kittatinny Mountain dominates the landscape in this 1954 revision, with the Appalachian Trail tracing its spine across the Pahaquarry and Hardwick border. The Delaware River makes a dramatic turn at Wallpack Bend, carving through the valley near Sambo Island. This map documents a transitional period for the Delaware Water Gap area, showing the early infrastructure of youth camps such as Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco and Camp Mohican alongside long-established rural centers.

Local history is preserved in the locations of Lower Wallpack Cem and small settlements like Flatbrookville and Millbrook. The presence of the Lehigh and New England corridor near the Paulins Kill and the numerous small ponds like Crater Lake and Catfish Pond reflect a landscape defined by both its glacial geology and its mid-century role as a retreat for summer organizations from the surrounding tri-state region.
